EN 50564 Electrical and Energy Efficiency Testing of Lighting Control Gear
The EN 50564 standard is a critical pillar for the certification and testing of lighting control gear. This standard ensures that equipment meets stringent electrical and energy efficiency requirements, which are essential in reducing energy consumption and promoting sustainable practices.
This service involves comprehensive testing to ensure compliance with EN 50564. The process begins with a thorough review of the product’s design specifications and intended use. Our team of experts then selects appropriate test equipment tailored to measure various parameters such as power factor, efficiency, and flicker. These tests are conducted under controlled conditions to simulate real-world usage scenarios.
During the testing phase, we meticulously examine each specimen according to the prescribed criteria outlined in EN 50564. This includes checking for compliance with maximum permissible voltage variation, allowable current consumption levels, and acceptable noise emission limits. Compliance with these stringent requirements ensures that lighting control gear performs reliably while minimizing its environmental impact.
The results of our testing are meticulously documented and presented in a detailed report, providing clear evidence of conformity to the specified standards. This document serves as essential proof for manufacturers seeking certification or compliance validation from regulatory bodies like ECOCERT (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization).
In addition to ensuring technical accuracy, this service also plays an important role in supporting sustainable development goals by helping organizations reduce their carbon footprint through more efficient lighting systems. By adhering strictly to EN 50564, we contribute significantly towards creating a greener future where energy resources are used responsibly and effectively.
Our commitment to quality does not end here; our experienced staff stays updated on all relevant developments within the field of electrical testing so that clients can always benefit from state-of-the-art methodologies. With years of experience in this area, we pride ourselves on delivering accurate, reliable results every time.
To summarize, our EN 50564 service offers a comprehensive approach to ensuring compliance with international standards for lighting control gear. Through rigorous testing procedures and detailed reporting, we provide assurance that products meet the highest level of performance expectations set forth by this standard.
